Twenty Five years

June 27, 2013

Twenty five years seems like a long time and yet when I reflect on my time at Ritter’s it seems like yesterday I was fresh out of college and eager to embark on a career. I remember all the excitement the Ritter family had at starting a new business and other days we felt overwhelmed that we would never learn all we needed to know. Thanks to all of you who helped us grow over the years whether you were a client, vendor or mentor.

We laugh now as we reminisce about how we did business “back then” versus now. Who can forget the hot waxer and all the exacto knives we used to use to “cut and paste”. Or, how about that great invention the fax machine with its rolled up paper that used to fade. When prospecting for clients we used to just hop in the car and head for the biggest office building we could find. The cell phone and eventually the internet and email certainly aided in the ease of doing business.

As I reflect on the differences, I also see similarities…most importantly, our clients. We still value a relationship with them. That relationship may now be over the phone or via email rather than meeting in person but it is still strong and we are grateful for the many friendships that have developed over the years.
